We are looking for a treasurer -Would you like to contribute your skills
to a community organisation?
Are you a bookkeeper or accountant?
We meet fabulous people every day at Multicultural Tauranga. Skilled
migrants are arriving from all over the world to live and work in Tauranga.
They have to jump through a lot of hoops to get here, and we do our best
to make them feel at home. We offer interpreting and translation
services, information and contacts to make it easier for them to settle
and, above all, opportunities for newcomers to meet people and make
friends.
We work entirely through volunteers.
We are currently looking for a trained, experienced bookkeeper or
accountant to join our committee as Treasurer.
If you are retired but still want to be involved in a community group and
contribute your skills to a non-profit organisation, or if you decided to
leave a paid, full-time role but miss connecting with new people, fresh
ideas and perspectives, working as a volunteer in the social sector could
be right for you.
For more information about Multicultural Tauranga see our website
www.trmc.co.nz...
For more information about the role see the attached job description.
